youbotymyboty Posted March 4, 2007 Share Posted March 4, 2007 first of all I like this signing. But this guy isn't the second coming of orlando pace. I think the coaches were high on Pennington, and If he makes serious strides (think J peters) could walker play RG?. I read some consider him a better guard than tackle anyways.

DrDawkinstein Posted March 4, 2007 Share Posted March 4, 2007 i know i, as well as viking gum boot and a few others, are in line with that thinking. Peters-Dockery-Fowler-Walker-Pennington is the way to go... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YOOOOOO Posted March 4, 2007 Share Posted March 4, 2007 Although Walker has played inside and has the ability...I think we signed him to play RT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Albany,n.y. Posted March 4, 2007 Share Posted March 4, 2007 first of all I like this signing. But this guy isn't the second coming of orlando pace. I think the coaches were high on Pennington, and If he makes serious strides (think J peters) could walker play RG?. I read some consider him a better guard than tackle anyways. The team is going to try Walker, Pennington & Butler at RT, once a winner is determined, the other two will battle Preston for the RG spot, with Merz & Whittle also in the RG mix. This is the deepest O-line we've had in a long time. There are currently 8 guys who have started in the NFL, 9 if you count the start Merz had last year.

eSJayDee Posted March 4, 2007 Share Posted March 4, 2007 If he does, figure you'll see a few more batted down passes, by the back of his head. I think the dudes like 6'8". Seriously, although the guy might be capable of playing an interior position, his body shape (tall, long and "skinny") naturally leads itself to playing tackle (or D-Line).

Who ever wins right tackle will have to be very agile and quick, quick enough to catch DEs coming off the end and give JP confidence he can get to his tight end if need be. This is why I like Greg Olsen in the first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just can't see the Bills paying Walker that kind of cash to compete for a spot. I'm pretty sure they fully expect Walker to be starting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1billsfan Posted March 5, 2007 Share Posted March 5, 2007 I agree about starting, but RT or RG? As of now on buffalobills.com, Walker's listed as second string RT behind Pennington. I'm sure there will be plenty of reshuffling to see what combination is best on the right side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2020 Our Year For Sure Posted March 5, 2007 Share Posted March 5, 2007 As of now on buffalobills.com, Walker's listed as second string RT behind Pennington. I'm sure there will be plenty of reshuffling to see what combination is best on the right side. Yeah, think of all the guard-tackle combos we could have on the right side: Preston-Whittle Preston-Walker Preston-Butler Preston-Pennington Whittle-Walker Whittle-Butler Whittle-Pennington Butler-Whittle Butler-Walker Butler-Pennington Merz-Whittle Merz-Walker Merz-Butler Merz-Pennington Walker-Butler Walker-Whittle Walker-Pennington And this is excluding Reyes, and anyone else who we acquire. Even if you were to assume Walker will start, there's still 7 different ways we could line up. Should be an interesting preseason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Walker sure as hell better be starting at one of the positions you mentioned, if not he is the biggest waste of freaking money I have ever seen, at least Mike Williams was an unkown with high prospects when he was signed. Walker's body of work consists of being part of one of the worst lines in recent years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
